Description
These sweet, fluffy Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls are packed with fresh blueberries and a rich cinnamon swirl, then topped with creamy frosting for the ultimate breakfast indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
2. To the yeast mixture, add the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
5. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, brush with melted butter, sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar, and scatter the blueberries on top.
7. Roll the dough tightly from the long end, pinch to seal, and cut into 12 equal pieces.
8. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise again until puffed, about 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for 25 minutes until golden.
10. Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
11. Spread frosting over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
Press the blueberries lightly into the dough before rolling to help distribute them evenly.
If the rolls brown too quickly, tent them loosely with aluminum foil while they finish baking.
Add lemon zest to the dough or filling for a bright citrus flavor.
Use unscented dental floss for clean cuts when slicing the rolls.
For richer frosting, substitute half of the cream cheese with mascarpone cheese.
